Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has told Julius Abure, the immediate past national chairman of Labour Party (LP) to give peace a chance, warning that any attempt to destroy the party will backfire.

Otti”s warning was coming against the backdrop of the misleading interpretations being given to the Supreme court judgement that sacked the Julius Abure led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

Otti, who spoke while inaugurating the New Leadership of Abia Arise organization (his grassroots political group), said that, the Labour Party is bigger than every member.

“The party (LP) is bigger and more important than any of us put together. The triumph of evil over good is for a moment. So, we thank God for Friday. We somehow believed that justice will be done to the Labour Party.

“I was watching and saw some people making some claims about them not being removed by the Supreme Court. We can as well ignore them, but I will not ignore them.

“I want to appeal to them to give peace a chance, except, if what they wanted in the first place is to destroy the party, and if they want to destroy the party, they will destroy themselves and the party will become even stronger,”

Otti inaugurated the Abia Arise State Executive, Zonal and Local Government Coordinators with Nkem Okoro as State Chairman, Mrs. Sophia Chidinma Ikpeama, Vice Chairman and Dr. Sylvester Ibeneme as Secretary among other officials.

He noted that Abia Arise was instrumental to his team’s migration to the Labour Party and contributed immensely to the campaign and electoral victory of 2023. (The Sun)
